[PATCH V3 4/9] mac80211: add multiple bssid/ema support to bcn templating

John Crispin
2020-08-12T15:01:05Z

Extend ieee80211_beacon_get_template() to allow generation of EMA beacons.
Drivers for hardware that does not support ema offloading can use this
function to update their becaons after they receive beacon completion
events from the hardware.
